Hempstead is a city with a population of 59,357 people. There are 3 nursing homes there for you to choose from.
While its overall score was terrible, we actually awarded Hempstead a B for our inspections rating. This category obviously is not the reason for its alarming overall grade. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. Surprisingly, Hempstead performed respectably in the area of long-term care as well, where it earned a B- for this category. In the last two categories, Hempstead earned terrible grades for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively.
